Cos I do!
How should I respond? Not everyone cooks me a meal, so it's not always practical to tell them "Oooh. You must have a wonderful oven."

When people ask me what kind of camera I have, I say that I won't tell them. I have images from my Nikon D200 hanging right next to some from my Nikon Coolpix 885 and Coolpix 4600. I say, "Some of these pictures came from my camera and lens that cost over $2,000 and some from my camera that cost less than $200. Can you tell them apart? The camera doesn't matter."
My reasons are two-fold. First of all, obviously, the camera did not "see" the image before it recorded it. _I_ am the photographer. Second of all, I don't want anyone to ever say, "Well, I can't afford $2,000 for a camera, so I could never make a picture like that," when we know perfectly well that they could if only they knew what they were doing.

its a statement of the ignorant, i have a client say to me im going to buy xyz camera (whatever he saw me with onetime or another) now.........they actually think a camera comes with years of study programmed in it.
race cars dont make drivers, etc
cameras, use of light/lights, flash, knowledge, all tools
its something that just happens, as long as people think its the camera not the operator the more secure those with skills should feel

Well, I'd like to think pictures are good, because of the person who takes them, not because of what they use...yet a better camera does help :P
